RGPS Passport Season Tulsa Main Event Continues with Day 1b and 1c Flights

The RunGood Poker Series Passport Season continues at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa, with Day 1b of the $800 Main Event taking place today at 11:00 a.m. local time and Day 1c starting at 6:00 p.m. The tournament features three Day 1 starting flights taking place over two days and players who advance from each flight will combine and return for Day 2 on Sunday, January 25.

Just a few months ago, the 2025 Grand Prix Series edition of the event attracted 469 runners, and through the first starting flight, 74 entries have been tallied this time around. Only 9 of those competitors will be advancing to Day 2, all of whom have already made the money.

Randy Cramer emerged as the Day 1a chip leader, bagging a whopping 630,000. At the bottom of the counts sits Jesse Jones, who took down the 2024 RunGood Resort St. Louis Main Event for $73,448. Should he find a way to spin up his stack on Sunday, he will be a player to look out for.

Day 1a Chip Counts

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Randy Cramer	United States	630,000
2	Jason Gambill	United States	420,000
3	Brian Winter	United States	267,000
4	Josh Wyatt	United States	264,000
5	Tracey Rudd	United States	225,000

7	Alonte Smith	United States	153,000
8	Lauren Bunch	United States	62,000
9	Jesse Jones	United States	47,000

Players will begin each starting flight with 30,000 in chips and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blinds will be 30 minutes in length during the open registration period (Levels 1-8) and will increase to 40 minutes after late registration closes (Level 9 and beyond). At the completion of Level 8, players may forfeit their stack and reenter for $800.

Should a player choose to play multiple Day 1 flights, only the highest qualifying stack will be permitted to continue to Day 2. Any lower stack(s) will be removed from play at the start of Day 2 and receive a min-cash.

Play for Day 1 flights will conclude once 12.5% of the field (rounded down) remains and those who bag will be in the money. Day 2 will then start at the earliest blind level of the three flights on Sunday, January 25, where the event will play down to a winner.
